“I would like to take this opportunity to recognize William Minogue, MD, FACP for his distinguished career in medical administration and patient safety in Maryland…His leadership was marked by important efforts to improve healthcare quality and patient safety in such areas as maternal newborn care, healthcare-related infections, and medical errors…The impact of both his work and his leadership on health and healthcare in the State of Maryland was reflected by the Center's receipt of the prestigious John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety Award in 2005.”

• Earlier recognition of sepsis
• More consistent use of evidenced-based practice
• Better coordination of care
• Improved data collection & analysis
• Reduction in mortality
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT

Earlier Recognition of Sepsis
Shifting WBC up or down
Elevated or low temperature
Pressure - BP is low
Speedy heart rate [>90]
Infection
Speedy respiratory rate [>20]

EARLY GOAL-DIRECTED THERAPY
Early Goal-Directed Therapy Includes: • Cultures & Lactate
• Antibiotics
• IV fluid resuscitation
• Hemodynamic stability & airway management when needed

Better Coordination of Care
COORDINATION OF SEPSIS CARE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ICU RAPID ASSESSMENT TEAM
ASSESSMENT When sepsis suspected, ED staff calls
CODE SEPSIS, assesses patient utilizing ED SEVERE SEPSIS SCREENING TOOL.
ASSESSMENT SEPSIS patient admitted from ED
or transferred from other unit.
ASSESSMENT As part of RA Team response, nurse
assesses patient for possible sepsis utilizing RAT Sepsis Screening
Tool & Protocol.
SEPSIS CRITERIA When criteria met, ED SEVERE SEPSIS ORDER
SET initiated through CPOE.
SEPSIS CRITERIA Nurse confirms criteria met
& notifies Physician to obtain orders.
SEPSIS CRITERIA When criteria met, RA nurse notifies
Physician of positive Sepsis Screening.
RX PRIORITIES Implement ED SEVERE SEPSIS ORDER
with focus on timely: Fluid resuscitation
Hemodynamic stability Blood cultures Lactate level Antibiotics
Oxygenation/airway management Disposition: Consider admission to
ICU when Lactate 2 or greater
RX PRIORITIES Implement SEVERE SEPSIS ICU ADULT

25
Similar to the methodology used for CODE STROKE, Emergency Department staff initiates a CODE SEPSIS to rapidly mobilize needed resources for assessment and clinical intervention. CODE SEPSIS is paged overhead to alert ED & Laboratory staff to respond to the patient’s bedside.
CODE SEPSIS

Sepsis recognition is achieved by utilizing the Sepsis Screening Tool at the first point of contact [Triage]
CODE SEPSIS Step 1: Recognition
27
When criteria are met, CODE SEPSIS is paged to alert staff to respond to the patient’s location. Responders include 2 ED nurses, ED physician, ED tech and phlebotomist.
CODE SEPSIS Step 2: Mobilization
28

29
Sepsis orders are initiated through Computer Provider Order Entry [CPOE], which standardizes evidence-based diagnostics and interventions.
CODE SEPSIS Step 3: Order Set Initiation

ED physician may consult with the Intensivist. Intensivist may evaluate the patient while still in the Emergency Department and, if needed, facilitates admission to ICU.

24/7 INTENSIVIST PROGRAM
As part of the hospital’s commitment to improving the timeliness of care for patients with sepsis and other conditions, UM CRMC expanded physician staffing in the ICU to 24/7. Having around-the-clock physician staffing in the ICU is an important element in the optimal coordination of care for patients with severe sepsis.
40
ICU TEAM Optimal coordination requires timely admission from the Emergency Department or transfer from an inpatient unit for continued care.
